For those who haven’t already stumbled across it, ChuckPodCast.com has a new podcast up featuring our girl Yvonne Strahovski!

Though they have long been casting the pod all about the show, this is the first time Ms. Strahovski has made her appearance on the show.

Getting a chance to see or hear Yvonne in an interview is so rare that I didn’t want to pass up the opportunity to pass the word along.

The Australian accent is to die for!

Edit: I tried to post this up much sooner, but ChuckPodCast went down for maintenance for a few days.  Sorry about the delay.

Edit 2: Turns out this isn’t the first time she’s been on the show.  Oops.

For those who missed it, Yvonne Strahovski was interviewed by Carson Daly on NBC in the wee hours of this morning.

Though my fandom doesn’t quite extend to staying up until 2am on a work night, my TiVo was more than ready to come to my aid.

I bring you 30 screen captures from the interview.  It was a much more relaxed interview than last time around and Yvonne Strahovski had some hilarious stories to tell.

We also learned that she has a dog named Chazzy and isn’t a fan of snakes (honestly, who is?).  The bit about having the Australian knife on her was pretty funny, and I give Daly some props for being spontaneous and funny.

If you wanna catch the video, one of our dear readers has posted it up.  Thanks fantasy34va (aka bzzg)!

Poor Carson Daly needs to invest in some HD cameras and better lighting; it was hard to get truly great images.  Nonetheless, I hope you like them.

Enjoy!

Editor’s Note: I know this is a deviation from our normal ‘All Yvonne Strahovski, All the time’ mantra, but this was an amazing opportunity to publish an interview with an awesome actress. Besides, I didn’t figure you guys would mind another attractive and talented woman to admire. – Lykaon

I was given the opportunity to sit down with Patricia Rae, aka Morgan’s Mom, last Thursday.

She offered to do an interview with me, face-to-face, to discuss her character and working with Yvonne. We hope you enjoy the surprise!

Devon Newberry: First of all, obviously, I’m from Strahotski.com. The first question is going to be, did you get to meet her?

Patricia Rae: You know what, I would have to lie and say “yes,”… I haven’t seen her yet. She didn’t feel well, so my shoot date got moved and I came in and shot my scene instead of her.

DN: Compared to other shows that you have worked on, what was it like to work on “Chuck” thus far?

PR: It’s a great set and all of the actors are very wonderful. The crew is so lovely, and very welcoming. From the minute you get there, the makeup and the hair girls are very sweet. “Oh, we love you! We want you to come back!” the wardrobe says “Oh! Put that away for her cause’ she’ll come back and we’ll have outfits for her!” and the ADs [assistant directors] are very nice. The 2nd time I came back they all said, “Morgan’s Mom is back!” It’s great because they say I’m a MILF!

DN: Was Joshua Gomez a good son?

PR: I think he was a little devil, haha!

DN: Were you a big fan of “Chuck” before you got the role?

PR: I don’t watch television on a regular basis to begin with, but it was one of those shows that if it was on, I’d watch it and see what’s going on. I’ve always got my eye on the arc and style of every show, because I know I could possibly get called in for a role. So, I knew the characters, thank God. I knew the premise of the show. Before I went in for the audition, I went on NBC.com, and started watching every episode, so I could get the rhythm of the show, the comedy. It’s got film comedy style, ya know? The comedy in the script is really smart, and it’s all in the writing.

One of our readers, in his mysterious yet, vastly appreciated ways, scanned in a few photos from the October issue of Men’s Health that features our favorite Australian.

Thanks to bzzg for the scans and find.  You can see other magazine scans of Yvonne in our Magazine Pics section.  They just keep getting better and better!

Editor’s Note: Exquisite photos.  I tried to stitch the two-page spread back together into one awesome photo, but they didn’t line up quite right.  Oh well.  – Lykaon

With little Yvonne news I know we’re all starved to see some Yvonne Strahovski in print or television.

Thanks to reader Mulder74, as well as a number of fans who have written in, I have 3 new items for you.

• There’s a new interview with Ms. Strahovski up on Six Degrees Magazine. Accompanied by a beautiful photo, it has a lot of new info.
• Speaking of beautiful photos, photographer Christian Horan has a number of very tasteful photos up on his site of Yvonne. She’s scattered about his first two portfolios which can’t be directly linked — but fear not — I have done the legwork for you!
  • Portfolio 1 : 4, 5, 6
  • Portfolio 2 : 1, 6, 7, 11, 12
• Now the bad news. Chuck won’t be back until next fall despite the end of the writer’s strike. There’s just not enough lead time to get anything out by the end of the season. This just means they have that much longer to work on new stuff for next fall!

That’s all for now. The new interview and fabulous pictures are sure to hit the sweet spot for our favorite Australian hottie!
